A good album that presents itself as a patchwork of original pieces with various influences, in line with the title. You can sense the influences of the best Italian singer-songwriter tradition alongside breaks from the strictly Italian tradition, with explorations into folk, garage rock, blues, and Brit melodies. Lyrics that at first listen seem lighter than they actually are and reveal a rare artistic dignity in these times.

this is a masterpiece. In the true sense of the word: an excellent work, that is, superior to others of its kind. Understood not as an absolute because we acknowledge the contemporary coexistence of multiple masterpieces. more
Devoid of a cinematic strength capable of sustaining the pace of his films, with twists that are quite predictable and cheap, and sometimes bordering on trash (Unbreakable and The Visit above all). I still don't understand what you find in them... more
Acrobatic sonic alchemy in balance between carefree and mocking "song-form" and daring Jazz-Rock, with the virtue of undeniable cohesion among the three. To summarize, a burst of carefree creativity. The roots of the so-called "Canterbury school." more
I have two vinyl copies. Maybe I'll buy the CDs... more
The ineptitude and incompetence of Stanlio, who turns every action into a disaster, makes him the true comic character of the two, but also the naivety of Ollio, who blindly trusts him and becomes his victim. All of this, of course, is what makes us laugh. more
Sunday morning, a beautiful sun and this as a background. I couldn't ask for more... more

Even today, after years and years, the greatest of all. We laughed genuinely and without vulgarity. "The world is full of people like Stan and Ollie. There's always a fool to whom nothing ever happens, and one who thinks he's clever, but is actually the biggest fool of all. It's just that he doesn't know it." (Oliver Hardy). more
I had one of his cassette tapes when I was a kid; I don't know how many times I listened to it. I think he made some great songs, if you contextualize the genre. Much better than an Al Bano, that's for sure. more
A great poet! more
Will it be understood why the vinyl of this album is now worn out? more
Hard rock. Period. more
There is truly a delta missing for definitive maturity. Yet in this last hint of shyness, they may be even greater. more
Lately, I've been listening to Bob a lot; he's always been my favorite in reggae, which is usually not among my preferred genres, but he is the exception. more
